Exactly! The majority of drone enthusiasts are insufferable, repeating the old mantra, "FAA allows to do what we like". I can't wait for some of these cases to hit the supreme court where they can put a stop to applying laws that were meant to govern manned aircraft applying to someone with a drone.
Yeah, yeah, this is what every single drone hobbyist parrots on about when asked this question. However, when was the last time someone was actually charged and convicted (criminal not civil) for shooting down a drone flying over their property.
Honestly, these studies don't make any sense. Australia in the top 10? Sure, if you already own a house, but if you're renting there's no way your quality of life would be better than say a mechanic owning 3 acres with a 3000sq foot house outside of Ohio.
It's not the AI doing math wrong as a lot of people are commenting. It's the way it's parsing your sentence. When it reads 'the present value of $100' it thinks that today's value of the investment is $100, and it needs to determine what the investment was worth 386 years ago (assuming a 3% interest rate).
Agreed. As someone with a PhD in pure math this is a pretty bad article, attempts to be informal, but then presents a bunch of theorem/defns. Not sure who his intended audience was here. Nicer approach would maybe try and approach the subject from a historical perspective, i.e. what were some of the original problems people were interested in.
Sigh.... I'm not sure what the audience for this book is. Anyone looking to learn the math behind Machine Learning would be much better served learning just what they need and expand their horizon as the need arises. I'm not sure anyone really learns this stuff by just reading a 1000 page book, learning happens nonlinearly, you learn a bit of A, then a bit of C, then a bit of B, and try and connect them together. It always reminds me about the story how Heisenberg didn't know what matrix multiplication once when he came up with his version of quantum mechanics. You don't need to know everything to make an impact.
If you read to the end of the article he actually lists the pros/cons where this is mentioned. That aside, the point of the article is maybe not so much using C++ regex but a technique to integrate C++ code into C code.
It's not immediately clear (though I'm sure it is true) from reading the article that F(\pi) + F(0) != 0 (assuming \pi = \frac{a}{b}). Given that F(x) is an alternating series, maybe F(\pi) = F(0) = 0. (again I'm sure this is not the case, but it's not discussed in the proof)
Ha... It's not that they can't do it now, it's just Google fear the uproar the woke brigade will inevitable make about how dare Google classify poor black neighborhoods as unsafe. But yeah I agree with you, that feature would be damn helpful, especially for someone like my wife driving home at night.
I'm confused why are they trying to implement name mangling in C? Are they trying to use the C++ compiler to implement the RAII assembly code and then link that back into C? Wouldn't a smarter approach be to do a C version of what C++ does?
It's funny one of the guys Simon's hired from IBM Watson to help him make the breakthrough, Peter Brown, was an avid fitness nut. Not sure the smoking and lack of exercise was the reason for his success! I think the main story behind Simons was that he wasn't afraid to hire people different from himself and trust what they had to offer.
The crazy thing with smoking is that now organized crime have taken over selling cigarettes causing more crime. God forbid they actually help people by doing things like providing affordable living accommodation! Though I think Australians only have themselves to blame as they do tend to worship the self proclaimed experts, and look down on the US for our tendency not to.
There's been a lot of discussion in these comments regarding the author's definition of intelligence. What I haven't seen people address is the author's correct (in my opinion) criticism in the amount of data needed to train these LLMs versus what the human brain of a child is exposed to. Unless of course part of a child's knowledge is passed down through DNA/RNA/...
Speaking from experience working at both FAANG and non-FAANG, the worst part about FAANG is that compared to small-mid sized companies the work just isn't that interesting.
Honestly Google's a joke. They spend so much time on pie in the sky stuff, but simple stuff (which makes my life miserable), like buttons getting hidden in Google Docs get completely ignored. Guess that's what happens when you only hire smart people, boring details get overlooked and deemed unimportant.
Yep people who think the US was once some stable well run country need a good history lesson. This comes from an immigrant to the US happy to grow old here.
Agreed. For starters we can start charging with treason any CEO who outsources jobs to China. The likes of Tim Cook et al. make me sick. With a straight face they talk about DEI, BLM, and all the other catchy liberal phrases, while single handedly propping up the this China regime while decimating American jobs.
Honestly as a senior engineer at a FAANG like startup, coding is but a small part. Most of my week is split across
- coding
- architecting systems (if we're in the design phase of a project)
- writing design documentation
- researching business requirements (basically understanding the domain i'm working in)
- getting cross org support for my work and meeting stake holders
So yeah for most tech roles nowadays, learn to code is the equivalent of learn to send an email. I think the days are numbered for developers who just want a bunch of Jira tickets given to them and be left alone.
I think we're moving back towards a 90s version of the web again. No search, just a list of hand curated sites of people who's opinions we trust. The only thing is now these will be likes specs of gold drowning in a sea of shit.
Yeah in a large subset of the population (I think between 50-60% if i'm not mistaken), but then what about the other 40% ? That's the thing with health nutrition, you can't really generalize very well.
I also wonder how, if they go fully automated, they handle the use case of a medical emergency. Who decides if the plan should land and where (the destination, on route, etc..)? It seems even if everything is fully automated they'll still be someone needed to make the final say (I guess the airlines would probably make this your customer service representative :)
